In October of 2003 we have noticed that our web page does not appear for any keywords in the google search.
Before, it was present for almost all appropriate keywords. We have contacted google adminstrators.
However, they simply avoided to answer our question. Here is our correspondense with
them.

Then, how can you explain the disappearance of the mentioned sites from
the search for the keyword. They disappeared a few days ago, so it looks
like someone manually did that. It is interesting to know why someone from
your company does such a nasty things?

Thank you for your reply. As we previously stated, Google does not
manipulate the ranking of sites in our search results. This process is
completely automated. If your site is no longer appearing for
particular
keywords, this is most likely due to normal fluctuation.
Results in our index change regularly based on ongoing, automated
processes aimed at improving the quality and content of our search
results. Changes you may observe include, but are not limited to,
addition
of new sites, changes in the ranking of existing sites, sites falling
out
of the index or getting dropped and site's content fluctuating between
old
and new content.
We realize these changes can be confusing. However, as stated above,
these
processes are completely automated and not indicative of wrong-doing or
penalization of individual sites. Inclusion and ranking in Google is a
free service. We currently include over 3 billion pages in our index
and
it is certainly our intent to represent the content of the Internet
fairly
and accurately. The ongoing changes you have observed are part of this
effort.
While there are no guarantees that your page will consistently appear
in
our index or appear with a particular rank, we do offer guidelines on
our
website for building a "crawler-friendly" site. You can find these
guidelines at http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html .
Following
these guidelines may increase the likelihood that your site will show
up
consistently in Google search results.

Hello,
We have tried several different keywords. Nevertheless, these two websites
www.geocities.com/shervgis and www.geocities.com/scienews do not show up.
These two web sites were appearing before for a few keywords. If search process
is completely automated then why your program does not pick up these web sites?
Moreover, you said that those web sites are in your database. Could you please
figure out what is going on.
Sincerely,
Moderators of scienews.

Dear GoogleTeam,
We understood that at Google you do not manually assign keywords
to any sites, nor do you manipulate the ranking of any site. And this
process is completely automated and depends on a page's PageRank.
However, we have tried all possible keywords in google search. Non of these
two web sites appear for any of keywords. Before October 2003, these websites
were appearing for any keywords from those sites but not after October 2003. We would
like to know why these two websites do not appear for any keywords after October 2003?
We hope that we correctly formulated our question.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely yours,
Moderators of scienews.
